We read in class the following definitions of literature taken from various dictionaries of Italian and we have evaluated, according to our tastes and needs:

Poetry and Prose. The art of writing, to put "black on white", stems from the need to set their own ideas and feelings, to transmit them to others. But writing also has a social purpose: to make collective moods, disseminate knowledge.
And now
A NOTE ON Gerund:
In dependence on verbs to indicate continuity of the action (continue, remain, remain ....) you can not use the gerund in Italian, but preceded by an infinite preposition A.
Sample translation from English: Yo me quedo
estudiar = I'm staying to study
Furthermore, with regard to the phrase that we talked about in class, I can confirm that the gerund in Italian can not be used with a past time, except for the imperfect, so it becomes necessary to choose a personal construction or to paraphrase the infinite.
"He estado todo el día escuchar musica" =
I listened to music all day / all day I was listening to music
